[nagdu] national convention transportation from the airport

So what I am reading is that Uber is not allowed to pick from the airport? And that we could either use a cab? Super shuttle? or the Meers that Jenine mentioned below? 
I will not be taking my puppy to convention, so I just wanted to get clarification on the options available. 
Thanks,

I remember being slightly surprised at this last summer but since I’ve heard of other airports, none of which I can recall at this moment, who also have such a policy.

I had an understanding that Uber and the Orlando Airport had some kind of agreement that they wouldn't go there, but since I can't remember who said this to me, not sure. That seems a little unlikely though because everyone doesn't have on-line access with an iPhone.
